Hey Boris, if it's any consolation, my mum found exactly the same when my dad retired last summer. Except that she had already retired and found it very weird having him around the house all day as well.
My letting off steam is about my mother-in-law. It's 4 months since Maddie was born and she still hasn't seen her! She phoned today before OH was back from work so I ended up talking to her and she said "I still want to see her". I felt like saying "Well why don't you do something about it then?!". Instead I just diplomatically said "Yes I know" and tried to be very tactful.
